F&N (Fraser and Neave) beverage

F&N, short for Fraser and Neave, is one of the most prominent beverage and dairy brands in Southeast Asia. Founded in 1883 by John Fraser and David Chalmers Neave in Singapore, the brand originally started as an aerated water business before expanding into a diverse portfolio including soft drinks, isotonic drinks, tea, and dairy products like condensed milk and evaporated milk.

Over more than a century, F&N has established a massive manufacturing footprint with major production facilities located in Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore to serve the ASEAN region. The brand is synonymous with classic soft drink flavors and the popular 100PLUS isotonic drink, which is a staple in many Asian markets.

Today, F&N is a subsidiary of the Thai conglomerate TCC Group, controlled by billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi. Following a major acquisition in 2013, the brand is managed under Thai Beverage (ThaiBev), though it maintains its corporate headquarters and significant operations in Singapore. The company continues to dominate the regional market through a combination of traditional beverage products and modern health-focused innovations.
